Did you know that Facebook is one of the hottest gaming platforms with over 5,000 titles?
According to this interview with Facebook's program manager for games, Gareth Davis in Venturebeat:
When the social network opened its platform up in 2007, it had no idea that games were going to become a big part of it.
In the interview Gareth says:
Games is by far the biggest application on Facebook. We have more than 5,000 games and hundreds of thousands of developers. I track the top 10 closely. We see significant growth in the top 10. The top game now is Zynga’s Texas Hold ‘Em. It has eight million monthly active players. The tenth game is [Bowling Buddies with 3.8 million.] If you look at all of the top 10, you have 50 million players. There is overlap there, of course. But there is a lot of game playing going on. It’s growing about 10 percent a month and that’s awesome. Overall, Facebook has 150 million active members now. Look at the Nintendo Wii, which is under 50 million units. Xbox Live has 10 million paying members. World of Warcraft has 12 million. So if you look at a platform with a scale of 150 million members, it’s huge.
